And a much larger number assuming the reverse is true which are hiding
potential bugs on ARM.
Looking at the serial stuff the best checks appear to be looking at
"irq", "-1" and NO_IRQ.
For migration stuff that's doing broken things like
if (irq < 0)
can be changed to
if (irq <= 0)
and that can be done before NO_IRQ itself is nailed on ARM and PA-RISC.
